Regardless of the claims made, that is a startlingly immature piece of communication.

The article is part of ongoing reporting on the issue of book bans in the US. Previous articles in the Guardian (but also other news sources) have focussed on specific legislation already. If you want to find out more about the reasons book

You want to hide the fact that gay and trans people exist from children? Why? Besides, children will go through puberty, and they will get to experience a whole lot of hormonally driven urges which, it may surprise you, have quite a lot to

Because the banned books are not about 72 genders and porn. Do you actually believe they are, or are you just repeating the right-wing outrage memes? > They aren't supposed to care about these things and it just confuses them. K-12

'Convenience' also has 've' instead of 'bi', but that's not relevant. The loanword is コンビニ. When romanizing Japanese (or any other language) the etymology of a loanword has no influence on the romanized fo

Why do you write 'conbini' instead of 'konbini' in the usual romanization form? For the todōfuken I would leave out the suffixes (mostly 'ken') in the English labels, except for Hokkaidō obviously.

Wouldn't you think that to be able to appreciate good movies, you should at least have seen a bad one too? You definitely shouldn't waste your time on bad experiences deliberately, but with only positive and rewarding experiences

Besides, for anyone completely lost in a restaurant with unfamiliar dishes (on holiday perhaps) the age-old solution is to simply ask the waiter for recommendations, or point at another diner's dish if that looks good. Or just choose t

Having a waiter come over for ordering causes stress? The whole point of going out for drinks or food is not having to prepare it yourself and having someone else do the dishes. Depending on the venue getting waited on is a feature, not an

So this is not Cloudflare, the hosting service, renaming SVG attributes as they are served, but the Cloudflare Pages build process hooked to the developer's Git repo. Weird behaviour. I'm interested in reading the actual reason th

Odd that the resolution differs. The source linked to from Wikimedia Commons is the same page at the museum's website as the one I linked to.

You can zoom in a lot on the 2490 × 1328 pixels offered. When you hit the download button for the full version, you get nagged. Edit: you can zoom in, and then it will offer up the painting in slices at a higher resolution. So in theory you

XML signatures in SAML suck so much they deserve to be your point one. For functionality at least it's possible to just poke around and see what works with whatever party your connecting, but debugging broken signing? With XML signatur

I'm seeing it a lot when searching for some advice in a well-defined subject, like, say, leatherworking or sewing (or recipes, obviously). Instead of finding forums with hobbyists, in-depth blog posts, or manufacturers advice pages, in

I do hope it catches on! I did come up with this myself, but I really doubt I'm the only one — and indeed: Wiktionary lists it already with a 2023 vintage: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nontent

I hate how looking for recipes has become so… disheartening. Online recipes are fine for reputable sources like newspapers where professional recipe writers are paid for their contributions, but searching for some Aunt May's recipe for

It certainly feels like the amount of regurgitated, nonsensical, generated content (nontent?) has risen spectacularly specifically in the past few years. 2021 sounds about right based on just my own experience, even though I can't poin

Good find. That makes their custom licence shown on their own website even weirder.

It's obnoxious really, and borders on amateurism. If they want the OFL, then use the OFL. Don't make me try to understand yet another licence; I'm not a lawyer.

That actually sounds amusing — for about fifteen minutes, before developing a sudden all-consuming hate for all things poultry. “Now what — I say! — what's the big idea bashin' me on the noggin' with a rollin' pin!”

That would depend entirely on her circumstances. Is she a professional helping disabled people like my example above? That's laudable. A self-employed dominatrix with a select clientele? Sounds lucrative. A popular OnlyFans starlet jus

Sex work will never go away. The only way forward is to make sure it can be done safely and legally. Consider the sex workers who deal with mentally or physically disabled adults. Most people have sexual urges, and those who are unable to p

As long as she matched with me on a personal, intellectual, and moral level, and is a good match in general, sure. I would like to understand her motivations for doing so of course, but that's what dating is all about. Besides, if some

Doesn't that put it in the same realm as alcohol? Best enjoyed in moderation and all that. Those concerns are valid, but not necessarily solved by shunning porn. Besides, where do you draw the line?

Wait, you would seriously hold that against a potential mate if they were open about it and honest about their motivations?

It all comes down to lots of greebles and people who see a CD-rack and think 'that would actually make a really cool skyscraper for this dystopian cityscape I'm making'¹. 1: I think that happened with Bladerunner (1982).
